Think Twice Before Adding Children To Your House Deed

Switching gears, Steve poses a listener’s question for the Real Estate Survival Guide segment, which asks if it’s wise to add a child’s name to older adults’ deeds. While this may seem like a good idea on the face of it, Terry believes it may not be all that wise.  When you add an adult child to the deed, you’re also giving them permission to say “no” to selling your house, so if you need the money or decide you want to sell the house and travel, your child could refuse and that could be a problem.  Nov 8, 2017
